Abstract
The South African energy landscape is highly dependent on fossil fuels, with significant supply constraints. Water treatment plants should plan alternate energy supply under these constrained conditions. Inline energy generation with micro turbines provides for a potential solution. In order to deploy this technology significant knowledge based decision tools are required. This study conducts an extensive review of literature for globally adopted hydropower electricity generation technologies. The desktop study provides information on micro turbine technology. A subsequent data centric model, specific to micro turbines decision making in hydroelectricity generation at wastewater treatment plants in South Africa is developed. A Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II is configured in Microsoft Excel for the multi-layer optimisation calculations. The results discussed possible optimisation modifications for enhancing strategies to improve hydroelectricity generation at wastewater treatment plants in South Africa.
